Nested DataList Question!

[AJ]

Hi all,

With the following code in mind :

<asp:DataList ID="dlOne" DataKeyField="m yField1" DataSource="<%#
GetDataSource1( )" Runat="server">
<ItemTemplate >
Output Value Here!
<asp:DataList ID="dlTwo" DataKeyField="m yField2" DataSource="<%#
GetDataSource2( ?,?)" Runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>O utput Value Here!</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

I need to send the Data Source of the nested DataList (DataSource="<% #
GetDataSource2( ?,?)) two variables.

1) myField2 value of current DataList
2) myField1 value of parent DataList

Using Databinding?

Can anyone give a head on on acheiving this???

Cheers,
Adam

You can use the ItemDataBound event and the FindControl function to
find the second DataList, example:

Protected Sub dlOne_ItemDataB ound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Data ListItemEventAr gs) Handles
dlOne.ItemDataB ound

CType(e.Row.Fin dControl("dlTwo "), DataList).DataS ource =
GetDataSource2( ?,?)
CType(e.Row.Fin dControl("dlTwo "), DataList).DataB ind

End Sub

So, in the first DataList you can put a hidden label in the header with
the id of the parent DataList and in each row put the value of the
current DataList. Just check if the item is a Item, Alternate item,
header item, etc. like this:

If (e.Item.ItemTyp e = ListItemType.It em) Then
End If

Hope this will help.
